文化的背景
Tenjin Shrine is connected to the mythology of Sugawara no Michizane, a scholar and politician who was revered for his contributions to education and culture. According to legend, Michizane's spirit was enshrined at Tenjin Shrine after he died on an ill-fated journey to Dazaifu, where he was later canonized as a kami.
